NOW @Uber IS HIDING RIDE CATEGORIES!
@Dotransport @EhailingCouncil @SA_Taxis
How can an operator manage vehicle overheads when @Uber_RSA hides the trip tier?
@CompComSA — hiding trip terms violates Section 66A NLTA transparency rules.
16:19 PM peak rush hour: 39.3 km from Midrand to Germiston, and @Uber_RSA locks it to R3.50/km again!
@EhailingCouncil, The Price Capping is undeniable.

Undeniable ALGORITHMIC PRICE CAPPING
Dispatched at the exact same minute (16:05 PM): Proof that @Uber_RSA's algorithm is locked at R3.50/km no matter where you drive!

ALGORITHMIC PRICE CAPPING Look at these two @Uber_RSA offers dispatched 2 minutes apart during peak afternoon traffic (16:00–16:02 PM), capped @ R3,50/km
With fuel at R24+/L, these rates force operators into financial distress.

and @Uber_RSA strikes again with the exact same R3.50/km algorithm!
@Dotransport @CompComSA — audit this hard-capped pricing engine now that NPTR licenses are active!

Thursday rush-hour across Johannesburg, @Uber_RSA has STILL locked in the R3.50/km poverty algorithm!
@Dotransport), NPTR, Competition Commission (@CompComSA) to investigate systemic rate-fixing on registered e-hailing apps! @SA_Taxis

ALGORITHMIC PRICE CAPPING under @Uber_RSA’s R3.50/km algorithm:
@Dotransport Operating licenses were issued under the NLTA to establish a fair public transport framework.

Another morning, same starvation pricing from @Uber_RSA!
📍 04:40 AM: 16.6 km total @ R3.50/km (R58.14 net)
📍 04:42 AM: 25.3 km total @ R3.51/km (R88.73 net)
@Dotransport @CompComSA — how is this Systematic Algorithmic Capping permitted for NPTR-licensed platforms?

Even during the peak afternoon home rush-hour—when demand soars—both @Uber_RSA & @boltapp keep driver payouts algorithmically capped around ~R3.40 – R3.50/km

4 offers received within 2 MINUTES (06:06 - 06:08 AM): Absolute proof of algorithmic rate fixing by @Uber_RSA
📍 06:06 AM: R3.49/km
📍 06:06 AM: R3.52/km
📍 06:07 AM: R3.51/km
📍 06:08 AM: R3.50/km
Drivers are algorithmically caged at R3.50/km

Look at this ALGORITHMIC PRICE CAPPING by @Uber_RSA! 📉
Uber Go, Teens, Priority and even UberXL—every single offer is algorithmically locked to ~R3.50/km!
@Dotransport Who is regulating these artificial wage caps now that NPTR licensed them?

How many drivers must be hijacked or killed before @boltapp removes surge bait from high-risk red zones?
Why are there no geofenced safety zones?
Why is @boltapp allowed to profit off sending drivers to slaughterhouses?
Cc: @Dotransport @SAPoliceService expect more cases today.

@CompComSA @NCC_ZA , a look at how e-hailing platforms like @Uber_RSA & @boltapp operate in SA!
Under the Consumer Protection Act and the NLTA, independent small businesses cannot be subjected to unconscionable trading conditions.

It's on @uber @lyft where it'll go, not sure. How about getting rid of Upfront Fares to start with?
theguardian.com/us-news/2026…
Irony : @boltapp offering a driver a starvation fare to drive a passenger to the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (@FSCA_ZA)!
Effective Rate: R2.64/km.
@Dotransport When platforms hold NPTR licenses, who protects small business operators from these predatory rates?
SCAM ALERT!!
“Be your own boss”.
A boss runs a business to make profit.
There are no profits driving for @boltapp, drivers world wide can confirm this.

John Stewart shocked when he finds out @Uber is ripping off drivers. Than... youtu.be/M5pOtLu_jog?si=p4Nv… via @YouTube
Cc: @Dotransport, this is what you are unleashing on South Africans, Africans In particular.
